Swap Cards
Back when I was a kid (seems like a lifetime ago), we collected, and traded/swapped what we called "Swap Cards" ... these were usually the size of standard playing cards, and very often had the markings on the reverse of these playing cards (maybe they were part of a pack, who knows). Often, though, they were produced solely as swap cards, and had blank backs. It was a fun past-time, and I remember spending many a lunch or recess comparing and swapping cards with my friends.
I used to have heaps of cards ... I recently discovered what was left of my collection. Thanks to Gina, who revived my interest in my swapcards, I decided to scan them all in and share them on this blog. Please enjoy viewing the swap cards that gave me so much enjoyment when I was a kid.
I am off on Sunday for a week's camping in The Grampians, in Western Victoria. The Grampians are a rocky mountain range, with some beautiful walks and views. I hope to return with new muscles in my legs !!! and plenty of photos. When we return, we will only be home for a couple of days, then we are off to Bonnie Doon for about 5 days, enjoying the remainder of the school holidays.
SO, in case I don't get back on here for awhile, hope you have a great weekend, and a wonderful couple of weeks.
Catch you when I get back ...

Hey Connie!!!!! That's a nice collection - there's enough to start another blog...LOL.
We have a few of those cards in common - did I show you my collection on one of your visits? I can't remember - we always have so much to show and tell each other when we get together - you're my type of gal!
Hi! So glad you stopped by today! Yes, it had been a long time...and it was so fun to come by here and see you again!
I just love your swap cards- must be what we call "trading cards" here in the U.S...they are just adorable!
Have a wonderful trip! (Maybe post some pictures?!)

How nice to see you back and then with such a collection ! Since I use the computer (now 3 years) I am not interested in postcards anymore, I only go virtual. But you have a very nice collection. Yes Rosie became a big girl, she has quite a little character, she bites when she doesn't like something ! The other cats ignore her and she too, only Arthur is her big love !
